Chenin Blanc is an oftern overlooked varietal lost in all the popularity for Chardonnays and Savignon Blancs. This is a very versatile grape that can makes wines from crisp, to sparkling, to nectar-like desert. I do no understand why it is not more popular.
Hogue is another absolutely reliable Washington estate that makes great valued wines. This Chenin Blanc is no exception. The color is a pale gold and it has a medium mouth feel. At first sip you think it might be sweet, but it definitely finishes dry. My first impression is lemon peel, melon, and a hint of honey, but then there is a plesant snap of green apple.
A super value at under $10. Great to sip on its own and a good partner to most ethnic cuisines. Meant to be enjoyed young.
